First day in Rome

We spent the morning traveling around the typical tourist sites in Rome such as the colliseum and the Roman Forum. We started off with a tour of the colliseum but our tour guide was horrendous. She hardly spoke English and spent almost half an hour at each location along the tour. We left the group halfway through the tour and explored it on our own. We even made a new friend along the way and she came with us for the majority of the day. 
After the colliseum, we moved to the Roman Forum which was a lot of fun to explore. It started to rain pretty hard while we were there so we took shelter in some of the ruins. When the rain refused to stop, we  gave up and left our shelter to continue on. Of course the rain decided to stop only when we were thoroughly soaked.
